The engine is the largest reciprocating engine in the world. The 14-cylinder version first entered commercial service in September 2006 aboard the Emma Mærsk. The design is similar to the older RTA96C engine, but with common rail technology (in place of traditional camshaft, chain gear, fuel pump and hydraulic actuator systems).
Sulzer marine engines were well engineered and so various trials in the early days of oil engines paid dividends. In 1910 there was an icebreaker tug equipped with a Sulzer diesel at Hamburg. The 4 cylinder two-stroke diesel engine gave an indicated 210 bhp and 9.75 knots, had a 1/3rd smaller engine room than the steam equivalent, and the ...

Emma Mærsk is powered by a single low-speed Wärtsilä-Sulzer RT-flex96C engine. Wärtsilä produces a wide range of four-stroke medium-speed diesel , gas and dual- and multi-fuel engines for marine propulsion , electricity generation on board ships and for land-based power stations .
The only straight-14 engine known to reach production is part of the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C family of 6-cylinder to 14-cylinder two-stroke marine engines. This engine is used in the Emma Mærsk , which was the world's largest container ship when it was built in 2006.
Is the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C used with direct drive or something else (gearbox? electric transmission?)? njh 06:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC) []. The usual installation of marine diesel engines in large commercial vessels like container ships or tankers is a direct connection to a fixed pitch propeller, no clutch, no gearbox, no nothing.
Ray-traced image of a piston engine. There may be one or more pistons. Each piston is inside a cylinder, into which a gas is introduced, either already under pressure (e.g. steam engine), or heated inside the cylinder either by ignition of a fuel air mixture (internal combustion engine) or by contact with a hot heat exchanger in the cylinder (Stirling engine).
Straight-six engines are typically produced in displacements ranging from 2 to 4 L (122 to 244 cu in), [4]: p209 however engines ranging in size from the 0.7 L (43 cu in) Benelli 750 Sei motorcycle engine [5] to the 10,972.2 L (669,565 cu in) Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C two-stroke marine diesel engine. Due to its well-balanced configuration, the ...
